To install the fireplace face
fl ush with the fi nished surface,
position the framework to ac-
commodate the thickness of the
fi nished surface. Bend out the
four nailing tabs, attached on
either side of the fi replace and
secure to the 2x4 framing. The
tabs will facilitate the installation
of either a
3

CLEARANCES
FIGURE 10
Combustible mantel clearance can vary according to the mantel
depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clearance needed.
Combustible materials may be installed fl ush with the front of the
fi replace but must not cover any of the outer frame face-areas of
the fi replace. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile)
may protrude in these areas.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fi replace
system.
When roughing in the fi replace, raise the fi replace to accommodate
for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor materials, i.e. tile, carpeting,
hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening
of the lower access door and the installation of many decorative
fl ashing accessories.
Objects placed in front of the fi replace should be kept a minimum of
4 feet away from the front face.
FIGURE 5
The fi replace requires a minimum enclosure height of 39 1/4”. For
temperature requirements, the enclosure space around and above
the fi replace must be left unobstructed.
